Definitely not a product for me. Only took one day for the nail polish to chip away. It also lifted and peeled off my nail by the next day. I thought it was maybe because of the base and top coat i u...Read more

I love the color and it looks great on my nails but I have two major complaints. 1. I don't like the super thin brush that comes with Essie polishes and 2. I had this on my nails for less than 24 hour...Read more

I surprisingly adore this color. It is a nice neutral color. I know this might not be very neutral for others, but for me it is. Until recently I have been solely a neon polish gal. Not anymore! Thi...Read more

Essie Island Hopping is a mauvey-gray perfect for in between seasons. Unlike other Essie formulas this applies streaky and thin but after 2 or even 3 coats you get an opaque finish. I brought this to ...Read more

This is a beautiful purple - mauvy color with a little shine! Once you add your top clear coat tho, look out - shine city! It's beautiful and seems to last a week. I usually apply a clear coat ever...Read more

Island Hopping is one of the prettiest shades I own, and the application is fine: on the thin side of Essie's formulas, but nothing unbearable. But I find that it chips within a day or two even with a...Read more

Well well, this is one very few polishes that I don’t know if I like.. or not. I know it sounds strange but some mornings I’ll wake up and will love it the next, not so much. I purchased it about two ...Read more

The color is gorgeous but not on me! I'm so sad, I really wanted this to work. I usually force drab colors (that I like in the jar) on my nails, but no matter how hard I tried telling myself it looks ...Read more

I only use OPI...but when I saw this shade I had to try it. I'm so glad I did. It's beautiful, modern and chic yet subdued. Love it!!!

Island hopping is a very unique color. I would describe it as purple with a tinge of grey and no shimmer. I guess I got a good one because mine took two coats and wasn't streaky at all. Overall I l...Read more

I love the colour but hate the application. This polish was thin, runny and inconsistent for me. It took 3-4 coats and turned out to look not so nice. It's too bad cause it is a really pretty colour, ...Read more
